VCG Holding Corp. (AMEX: PTT), a growing and leading consolidator
and operator of adult nightclubs, today announced that it has completed
its previously announced acquisition of LaBoheme Gentlemen's Cabaret in
Denver, CO. The definitive agreement for this acquisition was previously
announced in a press release dated December 6, 2007. The Company
received its liquor license and took over full operations on December
21, 2007.
VCG Holding has purchased all of the assets including intellectual
property from 1443 Corp., the owner of LaBoheme, for $5.0 million. The
Company paid 3.6 times EBITDA and funded the acquisition through cash
and lines of credit. In the previous 12 months, the club generated
revenues of approximately $3.5 million and operating profits on a pro
forma basis in excess of $1.4 million.
LaBoheme is a 12,000 square feet club and is directly across from the
Denver convention center’s main entrance. The
club’s EBITDA for 2007 is expected to be $1.4
million with add backs. VCG Holding’s
management estimates that EBITDA for 2008 will be over $1.5 million, as
a result of the major events in the Denver area for 2008 and the
realization of operating and marketing efficiencies. Further, the
Company expects to realize similar operating and marketing efficiencies
at its other Denver area clubs.
Troy Lowrie, Chairman and CEO of VCG Holding, stated, “With
this acquisition VCG Holding now has five Denver area locations,
including the only two downtown locations in the city. We expect all of
our locations in Denver to have a very good year in 2008 with a number
of events occurring in the city including the Democratic National
Convention in August, as well as other major conventions.
“The LaBoheme acquisition demonstrates our
business plan of clustering club locations in major metropolitan
markets. This technique allows key management to oversee multiple
locations and gain efficiencies in our operations. We now have five
locations in both Denver and St. Louis, and we expect to expand our
cluster operating model to the other cities during the next few years.
This acquisition brings the total number of acquisitions in 2007 to 12
clubs. Being one of a few adult entertainment consolidators, we look
forward to more accretive acquisitions in 2008 and beyond,”
concluded Mr. Lowrie.
